Verbal diarrhea

It's been a long respite and I'll just start with an OMFG X3 WAS SOOOOO GOOOOOD :D
Ok, granted I'm absurdly bias because I love them all and a then little more if you're talking about Wolverine. Yes, the ultimate eye candy: hottie Hugh Jackman as Wolverine *swoons*. Rumor has it that the big people in Hollywood are thinking of making an X-Men spinoff focusing on Wolverine. As much as I'd DIE to see that, good luck with that :/ Character development will be a bitch considering hot, sexy beast Logan has been around for quite some time. They could also just solely expand on the Weapon X series <3

Although, I have to add that Famke was equally as hot :x
Smolderingly sexy *fans*.

I want red hair now xD

However, out of all the female characters, I've always loved Storm (and still do, mind you even though they butchered her character in this installment noooooooooo!). It stabbed me in the heart to see what a piss poor job Halle Berry did playing the mistress of the elements. Maybe I'm not being entirely fair because there was really little room for character development but bear with me :P

Let's do a small comparison.

Storm: wise, strong, compassionate.

Halle Berry as Storm:

wisdom? HAH. Didn't seem one bit sincere and was more like listening to her trying to pull off ageless wisdom while reading off a script. It did the reverse and gave her own character a swift kick in the ass all the way down to blur, fumbling naivety.

strength: Minus all the sexy cgi and overzealous lightning worthy of epileptic seizures, her portrayal of Storm seemed somewhat... airy. How does some who projects such a squishy, shaky persona command the elements? Unworthy!

compassion: I've seen more compassion in a dead fish. Honestly, how much more deadpanned and uncaring to your surroundings can you get >.> My heart bleeds at the injustice, really.

X-Men aside, I've FINALLY started my room renovation effort. Step one is done: buy paint :P

I'm sure Cina and Chris have been getting pissy listening to me scream "I have to buy paint!" in the midst of conversations like a realization had just smacked itself on my crown all week, only to finally buy it on Sunday night lol
So it's on to step two: cleaning out the room :/

Pictures will come soon ^^; Uh, yeah. When I decide to clean my pigsty of a room for a glam shot ;)

Today, while waiting for lunch in Esquire with my dad, I decided to browse the little stalls outside the restaurant for earrings. I've been losing so many of them it isn't even funny anymore :(

So, I'm there critically eyeing columns of long, dangly glittery earrings and all the while mentally noting that a single earring would put any Christmas tree ornament to shame. The "long, opulent and abundant" fashion seems to be back with a vengeance this year O.o While pondering which ones will actually look decent without possibly stretching my earlobes to a dumbo-like proportion, another girl (who was also browsing, let's call her Turquoise-girl since she was wearing a belt with stones of that color) came up to me and said in Mandarin "Excuse me miss..." xD

Honestly, I panicked because it was in Mandarin. I am SO BAD at the language my ancestors would forsake my heritage if I ever tried conversing in it. First thought that came to mind and out my mouth was a defensive "Uhm, I don't work here..."

Seriously, don't ask me WHY but that was what I said O.o Quite possibly because the storekeeper spoke Mandarin to me while she was handing me a basket to put my earrings into and that Turquoise-girl spoke English to her friend.

Turquoise-girl, who seemed taken aback (possibly from the wide-eyed deer look of terror I had on my face from being approached by a sentence in Mandarin) apologized hastily and explained quickly that she and her friend were having a hard time deciding on a third pair of earring (they were having a RM10 for 3 promotion) and was wondering how many pairs of earrings I was planning on getting. Me, half flustered and thoroughly relieved that she spoke in English, mumbled something about being unsure while coughing up a nervous laugh, apologized and went back to staring at the little bits of hanging glitter.

I am soooooo terrible :P

...and the prime example that not ALL Chinese Malaysian people speak Mandarin.

I'm ashamed I said that but hey, it's the sad truth innit :x
